Script Writing

-Basic Steps to Writing a Screenplay.

There are a few steps to follow when developing and writing your screenplay.

Remember, there are no real rules for script writing, so they can happen in any order, or not at all. It’s up to the story, and ultimately you.

Craft a One line / Synopsis

A one-line is a brief summary of your story, usually no more than a single sentence, that describes the protagonists and their goal,
as well as the antagonists and their conflict. The protagonist is the hero/main character of the story, while the antagonist is the villain/bad guy/opposing force.
The goal of a one-line is to convey both the premise of your story and its emotional undertones. What is the story about? What is the style? How does it feel?

Write a Treatment

A treatment is a longer 2-5 page summary that includes the title of your screenplay, the one-line,
a list of main characters, and a short synopsis. The synopsis should highlight the main beats and turning points of your story.
Anyone who reads it should get a very good idea of the story, the characters, and the style.

Develop Your Characters

The most important thing when developing your characters is that you make them empathetic and interesting.
Even the bad guy should have a reason he’s bad, although it may be unjustified.
